No NaNo

Hello, ,
This is not my normal newsletter. In fact, I've never sent out an email like this before.
June has arrived and normally in June I'm getting settled into a Camp NaNo "cabin" and preparing to spend time in July writing. However, do to several things, I will NOT be participating in Camp NaNo. Here are my reasons:
- NaNo has been actively promoting gay books and authors not just to the older (18 and above) writers, but also to the children.
- They are promoting transgender books and authors to writers of all ages.
- They have said we need to honor the black writers who are trans or queer.
- They decided to promote "The End of Policing" which is a book that does NOT support our local police and law enforcement.
- They are asking writers to donate money to bail funds across the country.
- They are promoting articles which sounds as though they are supporting the terrorist groups in the riots.
Because of these things, I have chosen to delete my account with NaNo and will not be promoting nor participating in any of their camps again unless they return to a writing only community that doesn't promote their own agenda.
If you are a writer and would like to connect with a group of Christian writers of all levels (published and not), please reply to this email and let me know. Some of us are trying to find a way to create our own "writing camp" and would love more writers to join us.
